Foremost, I am a third generation skydiver.  My grandfather did his first jumps in World War II and afterwards started sport parachute jumping.  My uncle and dad had dreams of flying like Peter Pan and started jumping at the ripe ages of 16.  I did my first jump at the age of 5 using a special harness.  My first solo jump was at the age of 16, then I became a professional skydiver at 19.  Some achievements include several world records, a few Gold Medals, an Instructor Rating, and 7,200 jumps, among other things.

I have run my own business (in skydiving) for five years and have since resigned.  I love to read and my other hobbies include snowboarding, blogging, computers and gadgets and living a healthy lifestyle. Recently, I have taken off from full-time jumping to experience a different element of life.  

Last year my spiritual teacher said to me, “I just got a message.  You are supposed to become a Yoga Instructor.  You really need to follow up on that.” 

I was dumbfounded by her comment because I never told her anything about being a Pilates or Yoga Instructor.  But the message resonated.  Following her intuitive guidance I randomly searched a Yoga Teacher/Training online and the only one I clicked on was, “White Lotus Foundation.”   In March 2007 I completed my Teacher/Training in Hatha Yoga. 

After my certification, I continued my education and took an online Anatomy Course.  I am also enrolled to the University of Phoenix for Education and the Clayton College of Natural Health to become a Natural Health Counselor.   

These changes took me away from full-time skydiving and broaden my horizon to a whole new way of life and healing.  I believe in energy healing, each person’s unique spiritual journey and a natural way of living.  I have been told I have a gift to teach and I want to continue my passion for Yoga.
